[Intro]
Am F G C G/B
(x2)

[Verse 1]
Am
Ever since I was a little kid
F
I was never a favourite
G C G/B
But I dreamt of growing up but maybe one day I’d change it
Am
But I got used to it
F
Having no one to play with
G C G/B
Even grown ups walking out, I remember the day that

[Verse 2]
Am
I was standing in front of you
F
Picking sides in our living room
G C
Who would’ve thought I’d be losing you?
G/B Am
I remember, I’d have begged if you’d asked me to
F G C G/B
Anything just not to lose, left your kid with some issues
Am F
Then I grew up a bit, realised I was different
G C G/B
Well, it was not that I wished it, but it was hard not to hear it
Am F
And every school kid, and I tried not to give it worth
G C G/B
Or stir the pot and make it worse, or just end up getting hurt

[Pre-Chorus]
Am G F
Oh, I’ve got so much to say
Am G F
The life we live makes us this way

[Chorus]
F C G Am G
Oh, just leave me in your memory
F C G Am G
‘Cause my heart can’t take the part where you come back to me
F C G Am
Oh yes, I know it’s for the best of me
G F C G Am
If I never fought, you’d never have to leave
G
And the sweeter the
F C G
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, ohh
Am G
The sweeter the victory, victory
F C G
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, ohh
Am G
The sweeter the victory, victory

[Interlude]
Am F G C G/B

[Verse 3]
Am F
Am I just the product of a boy who wasn’t loved by his father?
G C G/B
Spent my life chasing praise, just to end up a monster
Am F
I got a note from my doctor, he said to not even bother
G C G/B
‘Cause, when you’re messed up as a kid, you’ll pass it on to your daughter

[Verse 4]
Am F
And it gets worse on your partner, all the pain that I’m harboring
G C G/B
Shoots me down like an armory, but it’s always been part of me
Am F G
Learn to live by the glory of knowing it doesn’t hold me and choke me
C G/B Am
And now I’m looking at these pictures on my phone when you’re gone
F
And thinking maybe I messed up and I was wrong
G C G/B
Maybe I messed up and I was wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
Am G F
Oh, I’ve got so much to say
Am G F
The life we live makes us this way

[Chorus]
F C G Am G
Oh, just leave me in your memory
F C G Am G
‘Cause my heart can’t take the part where you come back to me
F C G Am
Oh yes, I know it’s for the best of me
G F C G Am
If I never fought, you’d never have to leave
G
And the sweeter the
F C G
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, ohh
Am G
The sweeter the victory, victory
F C G
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, ohh
Am G
The sweeter the victory, victory

[Outro]
F C G
All of my life, never felt so right now (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, ohh)
Am G
The sweeter the victory, victory
F C G
All of my life, never felt so right now (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, ohh)
Am G
The sweeter the victory, victory
Am F G C G/B
